Dislciamer: I don't own BTR, or any of these characters. The only characters I own will be the headmasters and the bad guys I create.
A/N: Poll has ended. My decision has been made. Stay tuned for those bonus chapters if you want to know if there will be a SEQUEL of Big Time Spies!
This week has been hell. Pure hell! That's the only way Logan could describe to you his agony. He's been sitting next to Piper's bed for the whole week. He was forced to take showers and eat and sleep because he couldn't focus on those things. His main focus was surrounded by getting Piper to wake up.
The guys took him back to the hotel for a real shower while the girls stayed with Piper, talked to her, brushed her hair and just protected her. He couldn't see better loyalty and friendship from those three. Then the other girls, the girls took him a walk around the hospital while the guys stayed with Piper. They ended up in the Maternity wing and saw all the beautiful babies newly born and it gave him hope.
He talked to his mom every day, and everyday he had to talk her out of coming to look after him. He didn't want the first time his mom met Piper in a California hospital when she couldn't talk for herself. It didn't feel right, so each day he had to keep his mom updated on her progress or just his day to keep her from jumping on a plane. At least Kendall's mom gave him some space and didn't try to get him to talk about it. But she always had a fresh pair of clothes, and some food that wasn't from the hospital's cafeteria to get him through the night he spent in her room.
Logan had wanted to be a doctor and then they got to be band and he found that he really loved singing and being with his best friends. That he was just a teenager and that he had all his adult life to really start to worry about the seriousness of what being a doctor entails.
The second day of Piper being in the hospital nearly killed him. Piper had suddenly stopped breathing for the second time. They had to give her a ventilator to help her breathe on a daily basis. He was more scared than the first time and he couldn't even help her because the doctors removed him from the room because he was in hysterics. He had to be sedated.
Not his proudest moment but if you were close to losing the person you loved most in the world, wouldn't you freak out?
I thought so.
But now, it's been a full week, and even though the swelling in her brain has gone down, the doctor said that it would be up to her to wake up now. But all he kept thinking of was her face when she said she was already dead. He really hoped she wouldn't just let that be a reality because he didn't think he could live through it and survive.
He heard the door open but he didn't need to turn around to figure out who it was.
"No change yet?" Mel asked.
She had been here just as much as Logan had. Well, she and Erika kept alternating. Lila had come too but she had to keep their headmaster at bay for a while since they were supposed to return to the school as soon as their mission were complete and get debriefed. The excuse was there wasn't a point to get debriefed without the whole team.
Logan doesn't realize how much trouble the girls will get into for getting involved with them but he knows they can take care of themselves.
"None." He answered. "I just want her to open her eyes and say something sarcastic or fight with Erika. Anything would be better than her laid up like this."
"She's a fighter. She's not going to let this beat her." Mel reminded him.
"I know, it's just the waiting is killing me. I love her so much, Mel. More than I thought I could love someone and watching her lying like this day in and day out, needing a tube to breathe is…" Logan couldn't finish his sentence. He kept his grip on Piper's hand as if tethering himself to her. Like putting some of his own energy into her body through their joined hands would help her.
"I know. Truly I know but we have to keep putting positive thoughts towards her to wake up faster." Mel told him.
He nodded. "You're right."
"Always am. Just ask James." Mel said.
Logan laughed at that because he knew his best friend was a goner for the brown haired girl. Hell, they all were a goner the moment the four girls walked into their lives. He knows the others felt it too about their girlfriends.
He was so into his thoughts that he almost didn't feel it. Someone grasped his hand. He looked down and saw Piper's hand holding onto his back. He gasped. The monitors started beeping rapidly.
"What's happening?" Mel yelled looking at Logan from the other side of the bed.
He pressed the nurse button next to Piper's bedside before he brought his face right in front of Piper's. He saw her eyes fully open and fearful because she didn't know what was going on. He waited until her gaze locked with his before he spoke. "Piper, keep your eyes on me. Blink once if you understand."
Piper slowly blinked.
"Okay, you were giving a ventilator to help you breathe which is what you feel around your throat. I need you to stay calm and focus on me until the doctor gets here and is able to take it out for you. You're safe." Logan said to her speaking in a calm voice.
Piper blinked again in understanding.
Piper's doctor walked in followed by a group of nurses. "We're going to need you both to clear the room so we can look over Ms. Masen."
Mel looked from Piper to Logan to the medical personnel before walking towards the door. Logan was hesitant about leaving Piper but knew the doctors needed to look her over and they needed to call the others to let them know that Piper was awake.
"I promise to be right back. You have to stay calm. They won't hurt you, Piper. They just want to help you." He saw the hesitation in her eyes. He leaned down and kissed her on her forehead and lingered there. "I love you." He whispered before following Mel outside Piper's room.
"You mind calling everyone and telling them that she's awake?" Logan asked Mel.
"Already ahead of you." Mel said. "I'll be back in twenty minutes, that way you have some alone time with Piper." She winked at him before walking outside to call the others.
Logan waited outside the door anxiously, when the doctor finally came out he walked over to Logan. "She's able to breathe on her on now. The swelling has seemed to go completely down but I've scheduled her for MRI tomorrow. Her reaction to the tube in her mouth is very understandable. I know she'll be happy to see you." The doctor smiled at him before walking away.
Logan stared at the door. He took a huge breath before walking into her room. Her eyes was closed, he saw they set the half of her bed up more. As soon as the door closed behind him they shot open and her gaze zoned in on him. She gave him a small smile.
He walked to the side of her bed and grasped her hand. "From what I hear…you've never left my side." She said hoarsely.
"I haven't. I even ended up going ballistic on your headmaster the first night when he tried to place one of your agents here instead."
Piper sighed and laughed softly. "I would give anything to have seen that. Not most people would stand up to him."
"Well, I wasn't going to be separated from you longer than was necessary." Logan said.
Piper changed the subject. "How long have I been here?"
"A week." Logan answered.
Piper opened her mouth to say something but before she could everyone came in buzzing with excitement.
"I knew it." Mel stated.
Piper smiled.
"You gave us a big scare there." Kendall told her.
"I'm sorry." Piper whispered to everyone. "I never wanted to hurt any of you."
"Don't be. It was Tim's fault, not yours." Erika reminded her.
"None of us blame you for what happened." Lila said.
"If it's not my fault, then Logan, it's not your fault either."
"You heard me?" This time it was Logan who asked the question.
"I heard certain things. I heard you all stay with me certain times. I remember hearing Mel call me her sister." Piper said.
"Because you are!" Mel commented.
"I never thought I was really important enough to be cared about. I sometimes felt that I was dead inside, no matter how I acted on the outside." Piper admitted. She held her hand up to stop the protest they were about to give. "When Nix died, a part of me went with him and while I was in my coma I realized that I never truly mourned for him. Once I dealt with that I felt so much lighter. I saw him and talked to him and he helped me realized that I had people who loved me in my life, I just didn't realize it. You guys helped me understand that I was stronger than I could comprehend and for that I thank you."
By the time she finished, the girls had tears in their eyes, and even the guys were misty eyed.
"We do love you." Lila informed her. Everyone nodded.
"I'm starting to realize that." Piper said her gaze on Logan. "I'm sorry for worrying you and for hurting you guys. I never meant to." She said the last directing towards the others.
"We know." Erika assured her.
"It was crazy. One minute I'm about to kick Tim's ass and the next it was like a switch was flipped in my brain. Everything I once knew wasn't real anymore. It was like someone had pulled things out and played with my brain. It was like he put it in on a constant replay." Piper eyes glazed over for a moment as she thought about it.
Mel placed her hand on top of Piper's. "Don't!"
"Don't blame yourself. This was Tim's doing." Lila told her, placing her hand on top of Mel's.
"What he did was monstrous and something we weren't trained to deal with it." Erika explained, putting her hand over there's. "Don't do that to yourself. It wasn't your fault. You weren't in control. No one here blames you."
Piper felt a tear slip down her cheek. She wiped it away with her other hand before placing it on top of there hands. A true sign of unity and how far they've grown during this "mission". She gave them a smile. "Thank you." She breathed and felt her eyes close. She was really tired.
"She's sleeping." Logan told them, when he saw the girl's worried expression. He realized he now could tell Piper's little quirks. Like the way her breath hitched, it would shallow out just before she fell asleep was just one of the things he started to notice.
"But she just slept for a week." James said, not really fully thinking of how it would sound.
Kendall hit in the back of the head. "Oomph." James grunted.
"Her body still needs to rest." Logan informed them.
"Well, since we're here, we'll stay with her while you go shower and get some food in you." Lila said and continued before Logan could protest. "You haven't eaten anything since yesterday and need I remind you that we had a deal. No neglecting yourself."
Logan sighed in defeat. "Fine! I'll be back in an hour and a half." The boys followed him out and made their way to the BTR mobile. He took one last look at Piper's window. He hoped after today that things would get better. Not just for Piper, but for all of them.
